Eastman, who carried on the manufacture
of lumber in the cove, their mill occupy

stands. l well remember seeing this saw
in operation previous to 1920, cutting out
clapboards. The logs were sawed into
four feet lengths Inc placed on a machine
propelled by water power and somewhat
similar to a turning lathe, where the
bark and sap wood were taken off. They
were then fastened on the clapboard
machine, the log turning on its center and
n row of clapboards cut off by a circular
saw around the log, and If the log was Of
sufficient dimensions a second row was
taken off, The log was propelled back
and forward and turned by machinery,
giving the thickness of a clapboard by an
index without the aid Of a mill man. The
machine was considered a great invention
at the time and attracted much attention
from strangers visiting the town.-BrNns-
